Jordan's Space Ep 32: Featuring special guest Mark Simmonds - author, co-founder of Genius You
Manage episode 396689963 series 3360397
For The Jordan Legacy's first brand new Jordan's Space for 2024, Steve and the team talk to Mark about the mental health struggles he began experiencing in his 20's, culminating in an attempt to end his own life in 2001.
But Mark's journey is about much more than his own 'Breakdown and Repair' (the title of the first of two books he has authored) - as he was recovering from his own mental health challenges, his 16-year-old daughter developed a severe eating disorder which almost ended her life.
He explains how the support from family and colleagues, together with the right treatment, enabled him to recover from his mental ill-health. And how he believes that his own personal challenges gave him a clearer insight into his daughter's struggles, enabling him to better support her toward her own recovery.
